From “Rule Britannia” to “Fool Britannia” in just 2 generations, See? The Brits really are just like us.
BTTT!
John Major, the George H. W. Bush of Britain!
What is this need to search for relevancy? Co-dependence? Lust for power?
Grow up, John!
Downsize. Thrive.
“He suggested Ukips stance on foreign aid contrasted with the huge generosity of the British people towards charitable causes including Children in Need and the fight against Ebola.”
A couple of comments:
1) So how much have “the British people” VOLUNTARILY given to “Children in Need and the fight against Ebola” versus how much as FORCIBLY TAKEN from them in those causes?
2) Note how the politicians equate the above causes to their quest to REPOPULATE their country with Third World types. Yes, I’m sure Brits (forcibly or now) really do want to help “Children in Need” and fight Ebola - but that DOES NOT mean that they also want to see their country repopulated.
This guy is/was bad news all around.
More Points:
1) Would Britain even be talking about Border Controls if UKIP wasn’t around? Of course not.
2) Would the ‘Conservatives’ in Britain be talking about Border Controls if the PEOPLE of Britain didn’t want them, regardless of what UKIP wants? Of course not.
3) Would Cameron be talking about a referendum on joining the EU if UKIP wasn’t around? Of course not.
Major is having a REALLY TOUGH time understanding his own people. Pretty bad. We have Obama here, he certainly understands Americans - he just HATES them.
> less relevant nation
Surrendering sovereignty and disappearing into the EU makes a nation relevant?
During his time as Prime Minister, he played himself up as an average guy. Now he sneers at the "negativity of the four-ale bar." What an elitist POS he is.
I put John Major in the same box as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, as a former head of state that never stops telling successors what they should be doing. What an ass. The UK would fair much better economically if they withdrew from the EU.
I do respect Bush 41 and Bush 43 for NOT going public with criticism about their successors.
Yes UK, be enslaved by the EU who’ll take your money and give it to Greece...
